Identifying risk factors for adverse lung health outcomes among rural Appalachian women
PURPOSE: Despite high rates of lung disease and lung cancer among women, few studies have focused on adverse lung health risk factors among rural Appalachian women. We aim to describe the prevalence of demographic, behavioral, and economic characteristics among a cohort of rural Appalachian women and ascertain the association between these risk factors and lung function. METHODS: Through a cross-sectional study in two rural Appalachian Kentucky c…
Farmer suicides among states reporting violent deaths, 2003–2017
Research suggests that farmer suicide rates are at least two-fold higher than the general population. In estimating rates, prior research considered suicide events among farmers together with farmworkers, fishing, and forestry occupations and included non-farming populations in the defined at-risk populations (i.e., denominators). In this study, we sought to define and differentiate farmer suicide decedents from other agricultural occupations, es…
Impact of Non-HIV Related Comorbidities on Retention in HIV Medical Care
A Comparison Study of Methods for Measuring Retention in HIV Medical Care
Effect of survey instrument on participation in a follow-up study
We concluded that offering a MQ substantially improved participation rates and reduced recruitment effort compared to a CATI in this study. While a CATI has the advantage of being able to clarify answers to complex questions or eligibility requirements, our experience suggests that a MQ might be a good survey option for some studies
Noise Exposures of Rural Adolescents
PURPOSE: This project was conducted to characterize the noise exposure of adolescents living in rural and agricultural environments. METHODS: From May to October, 25 adolescents ages 13 through 17, living either on a farm or a rural nonfarm, were enrolled in the study. Subjects received training on the correct operation and use of personal noise dosimeters and the proper way to record their daily tasks on activity cards. Subjects completed 4 days…
Surveillance of Pesticide-Related Illness and Injury in Humans
Safe Handling of Agricultural Pesticides in Minnesota
Safe pesticide handling in a group of Minnesota farmers, aged 40 years and older, was influenced through the use of a multifaceted, countywide educational intervention. Two intervention counties and two control counties were involved in this effort. The intervention consisted of mailed pesticide information to farm households, educational programs on pesticides for county physicians, elementary school training modules on pesticides and the use of…
Factors Associated with Safe Use of Agricultural Pesticides in Minnesota
How farmers protect themselves against pesticide exposure has important public health consequences. To obtain insights into pesticide self‐protection, this study obtained data on chemically resistant glove and other protective equipment use as they relate to the type of farming practice, demographic characteristics of farmers and their farming operations, farmers' preventive health beliefs and behaviors, and factors related to their health care. …
Developing the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's Cancer Control Demonstration Projects for Farm Populations
Although farmers experience lower overall cancer rates than the U.S. population, they are at increased risk for cancers of certain sites, such as brain, stomach, lymphatic and hematopoietic, lip, prostate, and skin. Little research has been done to determine the extent to which farmers and their families use cancer control services or how their utilization behaviors and cancer survival rates compare to those of nonfarmers in the United States. In…
